Former teacher jailed for downloading thousands of images of child pornography

A former school teacher from Cardiff has been jailed after downloading thousands of images of child abuse – some involving boys as young as 10.

Paul Fisher admitted possessing more than 2,000 pornographic images of children and distributing more than 800 images using a peer-to-peer file sharing site.

Sentencing at Cardiff Crown Court , Judge Daniel Williams told the defendant: “You must recognise that behind each of those images is a real child.”

The court heard the 68-year-old was already the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order imposed in 2012 following similar offending.

Prosecutor Paul Hewitt said the order was “for public protection” and banned the defendant from viewing or downloading images of children online.
